Haylius guides you from gap assessment to certification — with practitioners who've been through it.   [Start your readiness assessment](https://t458h.share.hsforms.com/2I0HPHL55SYCEA6svhOl6OA) **⚠️ Time is running out.** CMMC requirements are now in effect for DoD contracts. Contractors handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) must be certified by an authorized C3PAO — self-attestation is no longer accepted. Non-compliance means disqualification from the defense industrial base. The remediation timeline can span 12–18 months. Start now. ## What is CMMC? The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification is a DoD framework that replaces the honor system with verified proof. Your security program must be implemented, documented, and independently confirmed — not just promised. #### Third-party verification required Self-attestation is gone. An accredited C3PAO must independently assess and certify your controls before you can bid on covered contracts. If a C3PAO walked in tomorrow, what would we show them? #### Protects controlled unclassified information (CUI) CUI includes technical specs, export-controlled data, and sensitive program information. Mishandling it carries legal, contractual, and national security consequences. Do you know your assessment boundaries? #### The End of the "Trust Me" Era CMMC Level 1 covers basic cyber hygiene. Level 2 aligns to all 110 NIST SP 800-171 practices. Level 3 adds advanced requirements for the most sensitive programs. We're helping you become assessment ready. #### The Body of Evidence (BOE) is Everything Policies, SSPs, POA&Ms, and audit trails aren't just paperwork — they are your certification. Without them, even well-implemented controls will fail assessment. Can you prove you implemented the control?
